"Michael, you have a way of speaking to a beginner,
as well as a long time meditator. You take
away the difficulties of breathing precisely this way or
that, of sitting a specific way, and you get right to
the core of the idea of what it’s about; giving your
attention and focus to the present moment by way of
guided meditation. I wish I’d had your guidance — and
your meditations — when I was first starting out,
because the difficulties of “getting it right” would not
have frustrated me so much. ~ Barbi S.

I have been doing mentored
meditations with Michael for a few months now after
dabbling with meditation off and on for about 20 years.
I started with some of Michael's 10 minute meditations
for a year or so, but the one-on-one individual
mentoring has taken me on a journey to an entirely new
place of peace, love and joy and meaning to life.

When he says he is willing to meet you where you are, he
really is! He listens intently, and gently helps you
through hurdles. We all have them — stress, anxiety,
busy schedules, finances, news, emotions of our past. A
few of the benefits you receive are simply just a better
you, which enriches your relationships, you can forgive
old wounds, cleanse emotional barriers, find yourself
less harried, and you will find yourself enjoying your
life in a richer way, from a place of gratitude, wonder,
and peace.~ Debra K

I've been talking with Michael
about meditation for three years now. When he says “I
Meet You Where You Are,” that is pure truth. I’m a very
busy man with a huge workload and it is difficult to set
aside ANY time at all for relaxation or rejuvenation.
With Michael’s encouragement I began by simply taking
ten minutes a few times a week. Instantly I felt less
stress, less anxiety. I asked him to create something
specifically for me. A few days later he emailed it to
me. I’ve listened to that meditation and some others
he’s shared now, the last two years. I think I’d be lost
without it, actually. ~ Frank M. Seattle

When one shares the beautiful depths of one's soul the
way Michael does, it helps us to get in touch with our
own. His guidance in meditation inspires me, his
insights bring soul nourishment. What he gives us to
ponder helps me to become more grateful in my life. His
meditations, songs, stories and insights have helped me
to have a better life. ~ Donna T.

Dear Michael,

Pondering words to attempt to describe how I feel after
listening/meditating - “still glowing” is what comes up.
What an interesting & soothing & enchanting collection
of sounds - the ocean, the rain, the bells - felt I was
right there beside the ocean and you were my safe &
gentle guide. Your message is clear & profound - to be
here now, present. Your voice is very tantric & sensual
& my body felt amazing as the sounds washed over me. I
felt light & free & beautiful. The sound quality is
excellent and I will always try to use earbuds in the
future!

Everyone who hears your meditations will become a little
lighter & more present & peaceful & hopeful, I know it.
That is the effect it has on me. I certainly sleep well
at night. ~ Kathleen O.Oregon

Michael,

I have a story to tell you. A year ago you came to our
city for a concert. My wife and I attended and loved
every minute of it. That night you spoke of meditation,
talking about it here and there, throughout your
concert. Something shifted for me and I couldn’t stop
thinking about it.

I have had a lot of anger in my life. It’s always been
there and I never understood why. Yesterday my wife said
to me, “What’s going on with you? You’re happy! You’re
never happy.”

I said, “remember what Michael Tomlinson was talking
with us about? The meditation? I’ve been meditating ever
since.”

It was hard at first, I struggled with it. But then
something changed and I began to feel lighter. I started
to laugh more and feel less burdened by my emotions. All
I know is that your words were the spark that guided me
here and I want to thank you with all my heart. ~ Peter J.Illinois

Michael,

I feel very blessed to have your guidance with
meditation. And I love the meditations you’re creating.
There was a rare moment of downtime yesterday. A storm
was raging around me while I sat on my back porch under
twinkle lights. The wind circled around me and my
fountain was going. The sound of my fountain, the wind
and my own chimes merged an octave or two deeper with
the sweet sounds and kind words of your meditation and
it was really quite magical. When your meditation
finished I was able to continue to sit with my eyes
closed and continue with the experience as I slowly came
back to the moment. It was a blissful time. I highly
recommend everyone listen while in the middle of a wind
storm!
